Clinton: People are 'selectively leaking' about FBI inquiry

Hillary Clinton said that all the stories suggesting the FBI inquiry into her email practices is gaining momentum are just "selective leaking."

“It means the people are selectively leaking and making comments with no basis," Clinton said in an interview with CNN’s “New Day” Monday. “We need to let this inquiry run its course, get it resolved.”

Clinton, who has continually defended her use of a private email server as done for "convenience," was asked about a new crop of stories from media outlets that include FBI sources suggesting that the investigation was becoming more serious. On Friday, the Obama administration declared 22 of the emails sent from Clinton's account “top secret.”

But on CNN Monday, Clinton reiterated her view that the messages were being classified only retroactively, and that a dispute between agencies was to blame for the media narrative about her use of classified emails.

“There is nothing new and I think the facts are quite helpful here, it’s a little bit like what the Republicans and others have tried to do with respect to Benghazi,” she said.
